Przybilla accepts five-year deal to stay with Blazers
By Marc Stein
ESPN.com
One more top free-agent is off the market: Joel Przybilla has decided to stay
with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Przybilla's agent, Bill Duffy, told ESPN.com that the 26-year-old has
verbally agreed to sign a five-year deal with the Blazers believed to be
worth more than $30 million.
Przybilla also had strong interest in Chicago, but the Bulls landed the No. 1
center available when they agreed to a four-year deal Monday with Detroit's
Ben Wallace worth an estimated $60 million.
The Pistons, in turn, reached a verbal agreement Tuesday with San Antonio
free-agent center Nazr Mohammed, but Przybilla -- who drew feelers from the
Spurs and a handful of other clubs -- chose to stay where he is.
"Joel said all along that loyalty is important to him," Duffy said. "It means
a lot to him that Portland gave him a chance two years ago when no one else
did. His relationship with the Blazers and [general manager] Kevin Pritchard
were very important factors."

合同內容大約是5年30 million
Przybilla其實還是對前往芝加哥公牛很有興趣,
但公牛簽了他們的第一志願BIG BEN之後自然不會再和Przybilla簽約,
而在Przybilla爭奪戰中另有馬刺、活塞兩隻主要的競爭對手,
(其實還有騎士等隊也對他有興趣)
但後來拓荒者來是以較高的價碼爭取到他,
除了價碼之外,Przybilla的好朋友同時也是拓荒者的代理GM-Kevin Pritchard
也是一個很重要的因素。
Kevin Pritchard和總裁Steve Patterson從選秀當天開始,
即有一連串改革的行動,看來他們勢在必得的樣子,
當然背後的推手同時也是拓荒者的大老闆Paul Allen也是功不可沒,
要交易要砸錢買人,也要有人點頭嘛XD
國外有球迷也說了:Allen看起來一點都不像是要賣球隊的樣子!
的確也是有點道理在XD
也希望接下來的交易案無論時誰交易出去,
或是誰被交易進來都能有好的成果表現出來!
